श्रीभगवानौवाच
अहमेव परं तत्वं मदंशो जीव उच्यते |
माया च मम शक्तिर्हि यतः सृष्टिः प्रवर्तते ||
फलं मच्चरणप्राप्तिः साधनं भक्तिरुत्तमाः |
श्रीमद्भागवते शास्त्रं प्रमाणं परमुच्यते ||
Shri Bhagavan said
I am the Supreme Soul. The individual souls is a partial incarnation of Mine. Maya (the divine illusion) which is the motivating force of creation is My divine power. Fulfillment in life is to reach My feet. The device for that attainment is unaltered devotion. Shrimad Bhagavatam stands as a strong testimony to this fact.
